Might be a good idea LOL I don't check my spelling and I being the site owner of my site has more typos then anyone else on the site so maybe a real time spell checker or a buttin in the BBCodes for the spell checker

this exists as a really good mod from searchlight: http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/5373
but it would be nice to see it integrated in ipb by default, but I doubt it will ever will be...

I use that hack now for my site but I would like to see somethingin IPB for spelling

Spell checker is integrated into the RTE if you use IE.

Ie= DEVIL

I use IE with iespell and it works great. Firefox will also have a built-in spell checker I think

Anyone who uses Bon Echo Alpha 3 (aka Firefox 2.0) has inline spell checking by default. According to bfarber, anyone who uses IE (which isn't "the devil," by the way) will also have spell check integrated into the rich-text editor. Not to mention it's also available via IESpell. I really don't think IPB needs its own integrated spell checker, and it would only really be beneficial to users of Opera or Safari, or other browsers that don't yet have integrated spell checking.

The spellchecker integrated into the RTE uses IESpell.

Firefox has extensions for spellcheckers as well.

You sure do need it

Ya, It would be cool I guess..

Why not use googieSpell:

A definnnitt (definite, just kidding) +1 for this feature, it needs to be implemented - I could've sworn there was a "√" button for the Spell Check in IPB but I just don't see it!

Are you using the RTE and IE?

firefox 2 beta 1 has one

This would be something very nice to have, even if it wasnt real time and loaded like it does with Microsoft Word (not counting the red sqigles). It would be better than nothing.... phpSpell ( a mod ) does this, but it's implementation, last time I checked, is far from perfect. It shows BBCode and HTML. Would be nice to have something like that in a dom-drag window, that works perfectly (hiding html and bbcode).

That seems like a real interesting hack there. When I become a future IPB user in the future I'm really going to use that hack.

Oh this would be sweet right now I use the Google spell;; checker!!
